Wyeth was such a master.
I recall he did some wonderful illustrations for some of Raphael Sabatini's novels such as 'Captain Blood'. Love Sabatini!
Thanks for another engrossing post!!

Great to see these again, it's been YEARS. I always loved that brooding Nemo pic with the deep-set eyes!

I love Wyeth's work. I wonder if anyone knows his ink drawing technique, that is, did he draw in pencil first, and ink over that, or just go straight in with the ink? And, if he did do a pencil sketch first, how detailed or "tight"? Just wondering, as his pen drawings have a sketchy looseness about them, sometimes, yet always are great compositions. Thanks for another great post, Mr. Door Tree!
